Why call it "compromise" when it all flows in one direction? [View All]

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

Isn't compromise give AND take? I saw a lot of give and absolutely no take.

Single payer?
NO!

Robust Public option w/ access for all and public funding?
NO!

Puny pretend level playing field public option available to almost no-one with a guarantee that it won't be cheaper?
NO! (to be honest, I can't believe they didn't go for this one since it was a complete sham)

Since we got nothing can we at least cover some older Americans with Medicare? Unsubsidized, most can't afford it anyway.
NO!

Negotiate drug prices?
NO!

Re-import drugs, then?
NO!

Mandate everyone to buy private insurance without an affordable public alternative and fine and tax them if they don't?
Now you're talking. Glad you finally came to your senses. Here's your pony. We named it Trigger.
